Earlier this January we were blessed to host 2 gentlemen from Japan; Koichi YAMADA and Akira YOSHIMOTO; who came to Lincoln to see how our staff utilizes the science of Postural Restoration(R) in a clinical setting. They spent a day mentoring with us in the clinic as well as some time with the staff at PRI. Here is their testimonial in their best of English as well as some fun pictures from their time. Little do they know that we learned as much from them as we hope to have shared with them. We hope to continue to grow these types of relationships with passionate dedicated professionals wherever they are!

Thomas Dewey Discusses his time at the Hruska Clinic

Posted by on 04/04/2017

I was first introduced to the concepts and theories of the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) in 2012. Since 2012 I have attended 5 PRI courses, and have integrated PRI techniques into my clinical practice. Although I felt as if I understood the concepts and theories from PRI some of my patients were not responding to the PRI techniques. I knew there were gaps in my approach to the PRI techniques. Attending the Hruska Clinic mentorship filled in the gaps, and introduced me to concepts from PRI vision and Temporal Mandibular Cervical Chain (TMCC). Jason, Torin, Dave and Lori were awesome. They made every attempt to introduce me to different patient cases and new PRI techniques. This was an amazing experience, and I would suggest the mentorship to any clinician who is using PRI techniques.

PRIME Case Study: Episode III

Posted on 11/03/2016

Read the last part of the PRIME Case study outlining a return trip (Episode III) to Lincoln from our patient after spending several months working with a local PT (Episode II). Read what progress was made and how adjustments in the program needed to be made as layers of patterned activity were peeled back. This return adjustment is often the most powerful in fully getting to the point of disengaging form a PT program.
